Head in, enjoying the feast and perhaps oblivious to you. I wonder if those blisters are a systematic feature or perhaps, like stripes on a tiger or spots on a leopard, might be used to identify individuals. Excellent photo.
Beetles are not my favorite insects - goes back to my childhood when huge black ones would show up in our shower in Brooklyn - yech - the noise they made when they were stepped on. Of course today I would "rehome" a beetle and never step on it!
